In SF, it's great if you life in the mission, bad if you live in the Richmond. (Actually, there's a good app that works with the cabs there, but before that...)
In Boston, don't live in Dorchester or JP. Calling a cab here is unreliable.
Living in a more sparse city, the only way to get a cab is dispatch. It's terrible.
- derrida 11y agoI guess someone could do something about that. Stallman thinks Uber is a good candidate for a GPL clone. Smartphones, servers & drivers.
- cowsandmilk 11y ago> In Boston, don't live in Dorchester or JP. Calling a cab here is unreliable. I one time opened the Uber app in Dorchester. A driver accepted me. I watched him drive around the fens in circles for the next half hour (literally, Park Drive to Fenway to Park Drive to Fenway). So I cancelled the fare. And Uber then charged me a $10 fee because I cancelled more than 5 minutes after the driver accepted. Don't know what the fuck that was all about, but the one time I tried in Dorchester, Uber was horrid.

- ebiester 11y agoIt's essentially dispatch, but done in a customer-friendly way.
